Document Portability Made Easy with PdfCompressor

Documents drive the legal profession. Court documents, legal briefs, discovery documents and depositions come together to make an ocean of paper in most law offices.

Converting hard copy into electronic files is a great start in controlling that ocean of paper. But a few years ago, the knowledge and management staff at New York's Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP realized that digitizing alone wasn't enough.

"We needed compression," says Matthew Roeder, Imaging Technology Analyst for the firm. "CVISION Technologies seemed to be ahead of the pack in compression technology. They worked with us until we achieved the custom solution we were looking for."

In the legal world, a 100-page document (about six megabytes) is common. If someone sends a 100-page scanned document via e-mail to a client or co-worker whose email has a five-megabyte file size limitation, it will bounce back.

That's why CVISION Technologies' PdfCompressor has become a valued tool for IT professionals in major law firms across the United States including Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Weil Gotshal & Manges, and Latham Watkins.

PdfCompressor makes file sizes manageable, enabling documents to move efficiently and cost-effectively through office networks with no loss of image quality. What's more, PdfCompressor fully supports OCR text-search making it easier than ever to locate and retrieve stored documents.

Office of Homeland Security Makes Documents Instantly Accessible Worldwide with Compression from CVISION Technologies

Nobody takes image files more seriously than the IT professionals involved with homeland security. That's why Nate Lindstrom, Business Consultant for Black & Veatch in Overland Park, Kansas, looked for fast, solid solutions for the issues he faced while working on a project for the Office of Homeland Security.

"Our file sizes can be pretty massive. We have both color and black-and-white files to deal with, and have complex content," Lindstrom said. "The key was to find compression that allowed storage on a data base quickly."

"CVISION's OCR product is about as good as it gets right now," Lindstrom added. "And the compression is absolutely amazing. We can achieve compression ratios of 9x or 10x with ease-and often see compression ratios higher than that. CVISION saved us time, and ultimately money."

You can benefit from the same compression and digital imaging technology that keeps homeland security documents circulating worldwide. Find out for yourself. Visit www.cvisiontech.com/pdfpro30_download.html for your trial download of CVISION's PdfCompressor today.

In the last CVISION Compression Report, we defined the "hard" ROI of PDF compression. Hard ROI represents direct cost savings, such as saving penalty fees for exceeding bandwidth limitations of your ISP, or avoiding having to buy a larger capacity storage server. This is about "soft" ROI. Soft ROI is a return that doesn't come back dollar for dollar, but is a healthy byproduct of conversion to compressed, searchable, optimized PDF format.

1. The time an employee spends waiting for a file to download is reduced by 90%.
2. The time an employee spends locating and retrieving a file is similarly reduced.
3. Backup is dramatically faster.
4. Anyone with Adobe Reader v5.0 or higher can view compressed PDFs
5. Files can be compressed automatically by designating a "watched" folder. The process is fully automated.
6. Email attachments that used to exceed transmission limits and bounce back now go through instantly and without problems.
7. Anyone, employee or customer, who downloads your files has a more enjoyable experience.
8. Files are searchable and indexable, so finding the documents you need is much easier.

When PDF was developed, features like text-search capability, security and viewability were taken into consideration. Since these were not considerations, when, for example, TIFF was developed, PDF is more amenable than any other file format when it comes to utilizing features necessary for efficient transmission, storage retrieval and viewing of files.

Therefore, it is imperative to convert files in less "cooperative" file formats into PDF. Fortunately, you don't need to buy and install separate conversion software to do it. When CVISION Technologies created PdfCompressor v3.0, they built-in an easy way to convert files from TIFF, JPEG and several additional file formats into PDF.

Furthermore, PdfCompressor can also restore files to their native format, creating a worry-free conversion to PDF.
